    This thing is completely awesome, but does anyone else explode at like 9000 miles an hour if you try (and usually fail) to land?

    The two good places to go are OldRinebeck areodrome in New York and The Shuttleworth Collection in Bedforshire England, the latter has the biggest collection and nothing there is common, everything is rare or the last of its type flying or even surviving EG: original Dh88 comet grosvenor house! everything flies there, even the 100+ year old contraptions that look like they will fall apart in the sky!
    Sadly the Edwardian aircraft fly very rarely, only the two replicas of a Bristol boxkite and an AVRO IV Triplane fly on a regular basis, they are over 50 years old lol,
    The original Edwardian and some other aircraft require extremely low wind to fly, so they fly last, in the evening, the comet usualy flies after the Edwardians since it is special and one of a kind, there are usualy visiting aircraft most likely to be spitfires hurricanes and early British jets and props, but sometimes the Mustangs and Warhawks come over, and also sometimes they get an extreme stunt pilot in, all the people who fly the most valuable collection of historic aircraft in the world (IMO) are some of the best pilots in the world, they are usualy high flight time ranked EX RAF pilots or Ex airline pilots, and the ground crews keep alive skills that died out in the majority 70 years ago. @Toscio56

    @EternalDarkness @PlanesOfOld yeh, those rear turret guns are too high in default state. keep it mind that the height of guns are adjustable by VTOL slider.

    @JTM55 THANKS to helpful report. Ive never tested this build on mobile. the model uses small rotators and hinge rotators as actuators of rudder / elevator / aileron. therefore, it takes a little bit o time to implement trimmable features.
    (Suffice it to say that the real F2b did not have trim XD)

    It would be exactly like the real thing if the guns were a tince lower, but still amazing!

    @Toscio56 Great job but you need to fix the rudder because it spins out of control in the air If you yaw... The elevators are the same As the yaw so u end up stalling and you should make the back gun rotate by the VTOL slider on another armed group. and the elevators should have trim. This will be awesome if you do these
